Hi all, I am new to note collecting and am wondering which note holders are the best to use and keep the notes in tip-top condition.

I am based in the UK so any distributors there would be ideal.

Many thanks in advance

I always use 100% polyester holders, which has no acid or oil that can over time damage the note. You can tell a good banknote holder if it has a strange rainbow-colorful effect when the two sides come in contact.

Most polyester holders are open-sided with a top fold. I use them for all of the notes in my collection.

http://www.katespapermoney.co.uk seems to have decent prices in pounds.

Thanks for the prompt response and useful link MisterMcDoo !

if you have plenty of notes, you might also consider 3-pocket pages for use in standard binders. these ultra-pro pages are also acid-free, and are made of polypropelene.

just steer clear of anything made of vinyl. polyvinyl chloride (pvc) will discolor your notes after just a couple of years in storage.

I recently found some pretty rare US MPCs that suffered that fate... they were kept in some kind of plastic wrap that damaged them quite badly.

Hello just my adding my 2 cents I store all my banknotes in mylar holders from http://bcemylar.com/money.html.

Good information. Thanks to all.

Many thanks everyone for your kind advice.

In the end I ordered a Lighthouse Vario Currency album from
